Cottonwood Correspondence.

News have been scarce during the
past few weeks and billiards. have in
terfered with our mails, therefore, in
rendering an apology to the REVIEW,
by resuming my correspondence, I feel
obliged to request the Editor to have
mercy on poor mortal. and to pity us
correspondents when we fail to sent in
our regular quota of news.
-Mr.Jos. Scheibel, manufacturer and
dealer in pop at St. Peter, is at home
now for a few weeks.
We had another gale from the
northwest on Sunday, which swept
over our extensive plains without the
least commiseration either on man or
beast,-all natural of course, in our
latitude.
Most of the school-teachers in this
vicinity have had weeks vacation dur
ing the holidays. After reviving both
their mental and physical energies,
they assumed charge of their schools
with new vigor and perseverance.
The Literary Society," in Dist.
No. is improving considerably, especi.
ally among those members who take
the most interest in it, and who take an
active part in every exercise. These
are the ones who receive the most ben
eft from it, and who will make it a sue
cess for all concerned. Such persons,
whether members at present or not, we
hail to our midst as benefactors. and
extend our gratitude to all those who
are exercising free speech already for
the benefit of themselves and our COM
munity at large.
Some of the leading farmers out
here have endeavored for the last two
months, to organize club, for the pur-
pose of purchasing q thorough. bred
''Percheron Stallion Whether they
have arrived at any definite conclusion
at their last meeting, I am not able to
say, but rather think not; according to
all prospects every attempt has been 4
fizzle. It is to be hoped that they will
make the strongest effort to accomplish
their purpose.
We are glad to hear that Mrs. Lipp,
who has been quite i'll for sometime, is
convalescing.
We are informed that Mrs. Mack
is seriously i'll, and has been in a pre-
carious condition for a few days.
The subject of our debate held in
Dist. No. 4 last Friday evening was:
Resolved, ''that people strive more
for money than anything else.'
Agents for nurseries and farm inn
plements are beginning their rounds al
ready. Altogether to early for this sec.
ton of the country.
The subject for our Literary next
Friday evening, will be: Resolved,
''that America is better country
than Europe" All are cordially in
vited.
Messrs H. Scheibel,J. Muhs and j.
Sturm have departed to St. Paul to take
in the Carnival We wish them much
pleasure and enjoyment hoping that
they may be able to give us some inter
esting facts concerning the Ice Palace
and the twin cities in general.

the Princess De Sagan the wife of the
President Of the Jockey Club, and one
of the best known ladies in Europe.
Sslliere had scarcely arrived there be-

to several millions, was the reason of his

Alexandra Dumas, says q correspond

with arms folded, and nurse his chin
between the thumb and the index of his
right hand, while he relates some anec-
dote of himself or of his father in q
roughish, hoarse voice and with a certain
brusqueness of language. Angler is a
nervous and incisive talker, joyous gau.
tois at times, and gifted with commu.
nicst tive laugh. Renan is "urbane. unc.
tuous, priestly and Hnaffirmative. AL.
pbonse Daudet retains the awkwardness
of Bohemian antecedents. Sardou twill
talk your head off; a single
word is sufficient to start him."
Edmond de Goncourt talks "well and
elegantly. and with great originality of
language. Victor Hugo used to be re.
puted an excellent talker. Barley d'Au-
revilly, who is one of the lions of the
Baronne de Poillys salou, is q master in
the art CT causerie, both as a narrator
and in repartae. About, "of course. is
a capital talker." Zola is o "boor in
all respects. He never appears in

Twelve buildings were blown up with
dynamite in vain effort to check the

said that the only thing to be seen at

stand was house and an expanse of
blackened ruins with here and there

warped and twisted machinery to show

his wife and daughter Lotta have ar
rived in this city and relate a terrible
story of wrong and suffering endured
while confined in prison at Del Norte in
Old Mexico last winter. Bird was man.
ager of the opera company touring in the
country and while playing in Del Norte
the entire company were arrested upon
q fimsy pretext and thrown into the
same prison in which editor Cutting was
confined. They were denied hearing or
trial and were not even allowed to see
or converse with Americans, though
several tried to see them while they were
confined. Four members of the COM
pany died of smallpox, while all suffered
privations and sickness. Lately the
company was released, having lost all
their wardrobe and musical instruments.
Steps have been taken to secure redress
by placing the matter in the hands oi
the proper authorities.

New YORK, June 2S.-The opening of
the stock market was very exciting this
morning. All the big operators seemed
to be at war with each other. There has
been no time since the days Of Drew,
Little and other big operators that in
individuals made such efforts personally
in the Stock Exchange as at the close
yesterday, and at the opening this morn.
ing. Reading was the occasion of the
greatest excitement, and the bulls did
their best to support it, but the attacks
were too rapid, and they were forced to
give way. Manhattan was the weakest
stock. 1t opened l per cent of, at l29.
There were no buying orders whatever,
and it declined two points at time, and
is now off eight points from yesterdays
close. Pacific Mail was raided success.
fully by the bears and declined to 44I.
The story is that all the big operators
are cunning for each other. Reports ef
the shipment of 81, 900, 900 in gold had
good effect on the market, and the
"shorts" generally began covering. For
eign bankers report large number of
bills offering and further decline in ex.
change rates considered probable. Money
is still scarce, and call loans are being
made at rates equal to 30 per cent. per
annum.
At noon the market was still very few
erish, but little firmer. Pacific Mail
rallied one point. Manhattan, however,
after advancing to l2S fell to l24. Mon
ey is l6 per cent. per diem and inter.

A BIG TRANSACTION.

of $4,000 shares of Manhattan stock
from Cyrus w. Field. The price was

GOULD INTERVIEWED.
The Tribune to morrow will publish
long interview with Jay Gould, in
which the millionaire admits that he to.
day purchased $4,000 shares of Manhat-
tan elevated stock as an investment for
himself individually because he thought
it good bargain. He said there was
no change in the telegraphic situation.
He pronounced the general outlook as
encouraging. The same paper has an
interview with Cyrus w. Field who
declined to give the price the stock was
sold at. He is still heavy stockholder
in Manhattan and has every confidence
in it. The business outlook of the
country is good and there should be an
improvement in stocks.
RUMoRs AFLoAT.
The Tribuue adds that the transac.
ton was the general theme of conversa-
tion and that many rumors were afoat
concerning Gould with other important
transactions. Among them was one that
the telegraph trouble had been settled
by Henry s. Ives turning over to Mr..
Gould his Baltimore and Ohio option.
Another, that Gould had forced Henry
Hart to sell him large block of Pacific
Mail, and to give up his fight against
the Manhattan Elevated on behalf oi
the Third Avenue Surface road, etc.
These were denied, the Tribune says,
The general opinion is that Field, who
has been o "bull' on Manhattan, hav
ing advanced it to ITO last summer con
trsey to the wishes of Gould and Sage
hsss succumbed to the campaign against
him by these gentlemen. By this trans
action Mr.. Gould has secured contro
of the elevated road, which Mr.. Fielt
has heretofore held.

in this decision overruled the former
action of the Interior Department,
whereby similar accounts, aggregating
over $500, 900 have been certified to and
have been paid to the State by the
Treasurer every year since 1861. 1t is
alleged that the State of Kansas will
probably apply to the United States
Supreme Court for mandamus to the
Commissioner err General of land, to certify
its claim to the first comptroller OF the
Treasury for payment, which will raise
the question of the rights of the State in
the premises. This decision will affect
